US: Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has opened the 20th ECHO Suites property nationwide, located in Bozeman, Montana.
The Bozeman property joins other recent locations in Springfield, Missouri; Colorado Springs, Colorado; and Round Rock, Texas, as the brand continues to expand nationwide.
Launched in 2024, ECHO Suites caters to project-based workers and relocations in need of extended stays. Properties average approximately 50,000 square feet and guest rooms average about 300 square feet. More than 70 per cent of stays exceed seven nights, with over half extending beyond 60 days.
Including contributions from Wyndham’s midscale Hawthorn Extended Stay brand and its upscale WaterWalk brand, 2025 saw over 60 additions to Wyndham’s extended stay portfolio – including 20 under ECHO Suites – growing the pipeline to approximately 45,000 rooms.
“We set out to reach 300 executed contracts by 2027 and we’ve already exceeded our goal,” said Mike Mueller, president of extended stay brands for Wyndham Hotels & Resorts. “Opening 20 ECHO Suites hotels in such a short time – including our latest opening in Bozeman, in the heart of Montana’s Big Sky Country – speaks to the brand’s momentum and strong developer confidence. With industry analysts projecting nearly 10 per cent growth through 2030, extended stay remains a compelling opportunity, and ECHO is proving that a purpose-built, developer-informed model can deliver strong returns while meeting the needs of today’s long-term guests.”
Paige York, owner and developer for ECHO Suites Extended Stay Bozeman, said: “When we looked at Bozeman, we saw a clear opportunity to introduce a purpose-built extended stay concept that meets the needs of today’s travellers, and ECHO Suites perfectly aligned with that vision. Equally important was the strength of Wyndham behind the brand, from their proven model to the hands-on support and extensive distribution network, which made moving forward with the project an easy decision, creating a standout addition to the local hospitality market.”
Wyndham has approximately one dozen additional ECHO Suites hotels currently under development and a long-term target of 300 properties open or under construction by 2032.
